if you've seen this type of venue before, you'll most likely enjoy the small crowd and great seats. the day before we went, we bought our tickets online, caution: you'll want to use a website that allows you to choose your seats, and got 5 seats about 5 rows from center stage. probably wasn't more than 100 people there. and...

The theater change their name to Smoky Mountain Palace in 2007 when they change their owner. The theater used to put on many other shows but no one is like this fantastic CIRQUE show!! The Chinese acrobats, the drums, the flying motorcycles, the music, the costume, there are soooo much to see and every year , they bring new shows!... More

My wife, daughter, and I attended the pretty new Cirque de Chine show at the Smoky Mountain Palace in Sevierville. The tickets were about $75 for the three of us--and it was completely worth it! I ordered tickets online about two days before we attended the show and we were sitting in the 4th row back from the stage. The... More

My family just spent vacation in Great Smokies. We are so lucky to make a decision to see the Cirque de Chine show at the former Governor's Palace, now Smoky Mountain Palace. Very Elegant and perhaps the biggest theater in that area. The show is just INCREDIBLE! Stunts are performed in such a elegant way! They even have 5 motorists... More

The current attraction at the Palace Theatre is Cirque Du Chine. This is a beautifully costumed and scored of artistry in motion with the Chinese National Champion Acrobats performing unbelievable feats of skill and athletiscism with grace and beauty. This kind of entertainment is reserved mostly for the Las Vegas and Orlando venues, so it is a real opportunity to... More

I really hate to say anything bad about good people, but I think people should know what they are getting before spending their hard earned money. My family went to see the Christmas show at the Governors Palace and were really disappointed. There was no story, no real props or even costumes. It really reminded me of a high school... More

We are regular visitors to the Sevier County area each Labor Day (and sometimes Easter). Normally our itinerary includes Dollywood, but this year we decided to skip the park and take it easy (as much as that was possible with the huge crowds this Labor Day). We saw ads for Fixin 2 Rain and, armed with a discount ticket, set... More

My husband and I along with our 29 year old daughter and 5 year old grandson saw this production and all of us loved it. My 5 year old grandson enjoyed the parade of animals and all of the special affects. We would highly recommend this production for all ages. It was a wonderful way to spend a hot summer... More
